It doesn't get any better than this

'Fragile' Earth sculpture collapses(Star Tribune)ATLANTA — A million-dollar stone sculpture, intended to remind future generations of the Earth's fragility, made its point a bit early — just three months after it's unveiling, it collapsed.The 175-ton "Spaceship Earth" lay in ruins at Kennesaw State University after mysteriously falling to pieces last week.The engraved phrase "our fragile craft" was still visible amid the debris.The Finnish-born sculptor who goes by one name, Eino, had called the work "Spaceship Earth" to honor environmentalist David Brower, a leader of the Sierra Club. It depicted a bronze figure of Brower standing atop the globe.OK, my take on this: ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,he,he,he,he,he,he,he,ho,ho,ho,ho,ho,ho,ho,hoOK, no; seriously: ho,ho,ho,ho,ho,ho,he,he,he,he,he,he,he,he,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,haSorry: I just can't go on with, it's funny enough as is.
